Jacksonville Jaguars LB Ryan Davis will play a role known as a "Lotto" in defensive coordinator Todd Wash's system, which involves coverage duties of a strong-side linebacker (Leo) and duties of a weak-side defensive end (Otto).

The Jacksonville Jaguars have been pleased with DEs Chris Clemons and Andre Branch during organized team activities and minicamp, which is why they felt they could release DE Jason Babin. Branch's burst off the ball and quickness around the edge is showing through, and he's consistently disrupted played in the backfield in 11-on-11 drills. LB Chris Smith doesn't fit the measurables for a hybrid end/linebacker, but the team liked what they saw from him at the Senior Bowl. LB Ryan Davis also doesn't have the typical LEO size, but the Jaguars are intrigued by his development. DE Gerald Rivers has worked at LEO and has the size to do so (6-foot-5, 258 pounds).

Jacksonville Jaguars LB Ryan Davis is expected to receive plenty of snaps in training camp with the team looking to monitor the workload of DEs Chris Clemons and Jason Babin. Davis said he has been "focusing on my detail, things like flipping my hips, getting my toe into the ground and using my hands."

Jacksonville Jaguars DE Jeremy Mincey is likely to sit out again in Week 13 for a second game as punishment for missing a team meeting last weekend. "I'm leaning towards that, but I have not yet discussed it with him (and) the team," head coach Gus Bradley said. "I will hopefully today some and finalize it again tomorrow." DE Ryan Davis filled in for Mincey in Week 12.
